Wisconsin Man Will Have None of Either Taft or Gary Plan for Relief. "MORE DEMOCRACY" CURE Ultimately. Says Candidate for Presidency, Government Will Hi W ages, Hours and Compensa tion of Producers. CLEVELAND. O.. Dec. 27. United States Senator La Follette, speaking In his campaign for the Presidency here tonight, delivered an arraignment of the trusts and an enunciation of his Ideaa for the cure of evils resulting from the present system of government. Mr. La Follette launched Into a discussion of Elbert H. Gary a plan for Federal regulation of prices as a relief from monopoly. Mr. La Fol lette said lie had no patience with this method. In his analysis he went fur ther and said that ultimately the Gov ernment would have to fix prices of labor, hours of employment and com pensation of original producers In order to fix accurately the prices to be offered the consumera Instead of the Gary plan or the Taft plan of a Federal license for incorpor ations. Senator La Follette propoaea his own plan for a commission on re straint of trade to relieve the country of the condition In which he finds it. Treat Evil Reviewed. The Benator aaw great evil in the growth of trusts, and, describing it. said: "A tremendous power has grown up In the country in recent years. Again and again It has proved strong enough to nominate the candidate of both po litical parties. It rules In the organi zation of legislative bodies, state and National, and of the committees which frame legislation. Its Influence Is felt In cabinets and in the policies of Ad ministrations. Its Influence Is seen In the appointment of prosecuting officers and the selection' of judges upon the bench. 'In business it has crippled or de stroyed competition. It makes prices and Imposes Its burdens upoa tha con suming public at will. "In finance lis power is unlimited. It has acquired large control of the public domain, monopolized the natural resources, timber, iron, coal ana on. Although Senator La Follette made no direct reference to the President, nor suggested his own candidacy, he in cluded In his speech a denunciation of the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. eed mi Elasticity Admitted. "The passage of the Payne-Aldrlch bin was the most outrageous assault of private interests on the people recorded n tariff history, said Li .r oneiie. He criticised the proposed National reserve of the Aldrich monetary plan. The greatest menace to competition at the present time Is the control of credit and tha concentration of money n the hands of those who control the trusts." he declared. "Elasticity in our currency Is imperative and must be se cured, out any plan to secure K, like that of the proposed National Reserve Association, which puts control In the hands of the banks and moneyed inter ests, will strengthen the power of the trusts to get capital and to keep com petitors from getting It. Any such plan must be controlled by the people." Senator La Follette described the manner of growth of trusts and mo nopolies and attributed to patent rights. to the tariff laws and to the money trust tha reason tor their being. "At any time within the past 10 or IS years, whenever a voice has been raised in protest, it has been silenced or discredited aa an attack upon busi ness and prosperity," be said. "Hon est, unselfish, patriotic effort to awak en the publlo to an appreciation of the dangers threatened by thla great power has been denounced as the work of the demagogue and self-seeker. "Whoever has been conspicuous in sny movement, municipal, state or Na- I tional. that man has been marked and proclaimed dangerous, and wherever such a leader has been thorough-going : and effective in his work through a ' controlled press and upon the highest business authority even such man has been especially characterised and the public particularly warned against him. i But finally the time seems to have ar rived when even the most conservative ' citizen admits the gravity of the prob- j lem confronting the American people," j The "progressive" movement. Mr. i La Follette declared, has as its aim the restoration of the Government to the people. "The real cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy," he said. "That Is what the struggle in Wis consin, in California, In Ohio and In Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and Kansaa and In every state in this Union means: that government shall be brought back and committed to the hands of the people; that they are su preme over Legislatures, over govern ments, over Presidents, over constitu tions and over courts," he asserted.
